AMD

My visit at AMD's booth was quite amusing. Although they got a big wall with press comments there, quoting
me as number one, nobody at AMD's booth knew who I was. However who cares about this anyway? The
interesting news about how AMD's doing I get directly from the US and the news are sounding good. If
anybody should think that the K6 233 was all that AMD has to offer, or if anybody should think that they are really afraid of the 6x86MX now will proven to be quite wrong. AMD has now cranked up their K6 production and they are doubling the yield monthly now. The original comment is 'we are currently only producing K6 233 anymore. The quarter micron 'shrink' is very close and hence the K6 266 and low voltage (2.8 V or less) versions. The most important thing however is the 100MHz bus speed project of AMD. Have you already forgotten about it? Remember my announcements before the CeBIT? Well, this will be reality in very short time and it will get the Pentium II as well as the 6x86MX into trouble. AMD is also getting on well with their
own AGP chipset, so you see there's still quite a lot to expect from them. Special thanks to Brent, who is one of two company contacts who I consider as my friend.

Sounds like AMD is really rampin` up the higher speed chips and the shrink.
